The proposals are one part of the council’s efforts to find the £45m of savings needed in the next financial year and over £130m of savings in the next four years.

What are the proposals?

• An all-day £4 charge to park in car parks at Wirral, Arrowe and Eastham Country Parks and Royden Park.

• At Fort Perch Rock, the proposal is to set parking rates similar to those in place in other public car parks in Wirral. It would cost £1.50 for an hour, £2.10 for two hours, £2.60 for three, £3.80 for four hours and £4.60 for up to five hours. Above five hours, there is a whole day rate of £5.

• All other current parking rates would be raised by 50p.

• There is an option to pay to park all-day for a flat rate and in all car parks there is a competitive annual permit rate for people that will use the same parking area on a regular basis.
